Another great Kathleen Eagle book. Never disappointed with her books.
Loved this book.

Great Book
I have always loved Kathleen Eagle's Native American stories, and her latest is no exception. Like her others, it is a gentle story with a lot of depth and emotion.
While I throughly enjoyed this contemporary western romance, I was pretty sure I recognized both the title and author. I personally think ALL reprints of earlier works should have to be noted on the book cover. Nothing pisses me off more than to dole out my hard earned money for a book that I've previously read. That said, this was an awesome read that I loved. I enjoyed the suspense and the mythology of he painted ponies. The book moved along at a pretty fast pace and other than the ending not showing us what happened rather being told by a character what happen, completely satisfied me.
Interesting story. Different from most of the typical romances I've read, but enjoyable.
